Abstract: L'invention concerne une nouvelle application de filtres de rétention des leucocytes se présentant sous forme de procédé et de matériel d'isolement et/ou d'identification d'antigènes étrangers et/ou d'acides nucléiques associés aux leucocytes présents dans les liquides dérivés d'un corps humain ou animal, et de traitement, de préférence à l'aide d'un détergent, de manière à exposer ces derniers afin de les isoler et/ou les détecter. Le procédé et le matériel selon l'invention permettent de détecter facilement et rapidement les antigènes étrangers et/ou les acides nucléiques associés aux leucocytes et la présence probable d'organismes caractérisés par ces antigènes. Ce traitement présente l'avantage considérable de permettre la préparation d'un échantillon à l'extérieur du laboratoire au moyen de quelques réactifs, d'une seringue et d'un filtre. A l'aide de ce procédé, les inventeurs ont mis au point un essai sur le terrain qui permet de détecter les animaux infectés de manière persistante par le virus de la diarrhée bovine virale en seulement 1,5 heures par rapport aux 7 jours requis pour un essai d'isolement de virus.

A switch couples power from a source on the primary side via the transformer to a load on the secondary side. A first circuit assembly has primary-side circuitry galvanically coupled to a port for connection to an input power source. The primary-side circuitry includes a primary-side communicator for sending or receiving control information used in controlling operation of the power conversion apparatus. A second circuit assembly has secondary-side circuitry galvanically coupled to a port for connection to a load. The secondary-side circuitry includes a secondary-side communicator for sending or receiving the control information. The first and second circuit assemblies are mechanically separable as assemblies from one another, are galvanically isolated from one another, and are configured to be placed in positions relative to one another to enable the primary-side and secondary-side communicators to cooperate to pass the control information.

Abstract: The present invention provides a group of novel compounds that inhibit the proteolytic activity of 3C proteases which are found in picornaviruses, particularly rhinoviruses. In picornaviruses the RNA genome is translated into a single large viral polyprotein precursor. The precursor demonstrates auto-proteolytic activity, cleaving itself into mature viral gene products. Therefore, compounds of the current invention are particularly useful in treating picornaviral infections by interrupting the processing of the viral gene products into mature and infectious viral particles. The current invention also provides a novel process the preparation of compounds of the current invention. The process entails the selective reduction of an imide intermediate representing a marked improvement over processes known in the art for making peptidyl-aldehydes.

Abstract: The engine has a piston (2) reciprocable within a cylinder (1) and provided with at least one piston ring (3) to ensure a close sliding fit within the cylinder (1). The uppermost piston ring (3) is so disposed as to define an annular space (4) above it and between the wall of the piston (2) and the cylinder wall (3). At least one inlet (5) is provided to said annular space (4), and means (7) are provided to supply fluid, such as air or harmless gas, to the inlet or inlets (5). The introduction of the air purges hydrocarbon gas from the space (4) and discourages its introduction into the space (4). Since hydrocarbon gas mixture in the space (4) is unlikely to be combusted fully, its exclusion from the space (4) improves the quality of the exhaust gases.

Abstract: Procédé et système améliorés d'alimentation en carburant gazeux (10) permettant d'améliorer la performance d'un moteur (30) à carburant gazeux en maintenant de manière variable la pression du carburant destiné au moteur (30) à carburant gazeux. Le carburant gazeux s'écoule d'un réservoir (12) jusqu'à un régulateur (16) de pression du carburant qui réduit de manière variable et dynamique la pression du carburant provenant du réservoir et maintient ladite pression du carburant gazeux à la pression d'alimentation régulée désirée. Une unité (20) de commande du régulateur commande le régulateur (16) de pression du carburant en réponse à des signaux d'entrée (28, 34, 44 et 54) et maintient le carburant gazeux à la pression d'alimentation régulée. Les signaux d'entrée (28, 34, 44 et 54) qu'utilise l'unité (20) de commande du régulateur proviennent de capteurs tels que le capteur (24) de pression du carburant, le capteur (34) de vitesse du moteur et/ou de pression du collecteur d'admission, le capteur (42) de température du carburant et le capteur (52) de composition du carburant. Le résultat est une amélioration de la plage dynamique de fonctionnement du système de carburant gazeux et la capacité de réguler l'alimentation en carburant gazeux destiné au moteur à carburant gazeux qui permet d'améliorer l'exactitude du dosage du carburant et d'améliorer la performance et les émissions du moteur.

Abstract: It is an object of the present invention to provide a supporting method, equipment, and controlling method for the roll-former stand by which the height and inclined angle of the cluster roll comprising subsequentially deposited plurality of side rolls likely as a roll former as a pipe mill can be arbitrarily set, and the interdistance between said rolls can be reduced. The basic structure consists of the following procedures; namely, (1) a supporting a pair of cluster platforms, on which a common bed is mounted, by a link being formed by jacks; a plurality of side rolls is supported by a roll bracket and deposited on said common bed, (2) fixing both end portions of the link on the platform or a bed plane surface to form an arbitrary triangle, and (3) measuring the length of the link by a linear encoder which is provided along said links. The measured data is converted to the Cartesian coordinates by the computer. Being based on the thus converted measured data, the information of the current positions and the target positions are comparison-computed to change the lengths of each link. By adjusting the lengths of the expanding and/or contracting movement of the links, the links can be freely adjusted either upper or lower (vertical) direction, left or right (horizontal) direction as well as the contact (rotational) direction with the workpiece with respect to the workpiece flow direction. Moreover, even a rotatable horizontal roll is deposited within the side roll cluster, it does not cause the roll distance of side rolls longer. Hence, the undesired degradation of productivity due to the buckling occurred at edge portions of the workpiece can be minimized. Furthermore, according to the present invention, the pipes with the thin wall thickness which tends to create the unavoidable distortion can be fabricated.

Abstract: Granular detergent compositions which can comprise various conventional detersive surfactants, builders, and other detersive adjunct materials are prepared using N-alkoxy glucamide surfactants to provide improved processability, improved solubility and improved cleaning performance. Thus, palm fatty acids are used to prepare the corresponding amide of N-(3-methoxypropyl) glucamine and the resulting glucamide is employed in granular fabric laundering compositions and processes. Such surfactants are also useful for coating various storage-sensitive ingredients, including bleach, bleach activators and enzymes.
